Description

How can we effectively “do good” in our non-profit programs, school activities, community organizing, and lives?

How can we ensure that our good intentions aren’t reinforcing inequality and injustice?

Join Seachange Collective for an interactive, 1-day workshop on "grounded program design."

We’ll introduce you to a six-step approach that helps you develop and implement initiatives based in community needs and justice – rather than assumed knowledge and charity. Facilitators will guide participants in reflecting on their experiences, the first four steps of the grounded program design process, and the complexities of anti-oppression work and social justice practice. Each participant will workshop their own real-life examples and develop personalized action plans to align their social justice values with their work.

Who should participate? This workshop is ideal for folks in non-profits, schools, community organizing, public service organizations, and other spaces seeking a stronger commitment to social justice – especially if you design and implement program strategy and on-the-ground initiatives.

Ongoing Support and Accountability: After our workshops, we provide ongoing support to participants over several months, to help with your continued planning or implementation of ideas. This includes:

Optional: We can offer additional workshops or advising for your team on specific projects. Talk to us about what you need!
